SVG Ellipses in HTML

Here's a quick tutorial that will teach you how to create an ellipse with HTML's svg and ellipse tags.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
	viewBox="0 0 1000 200">

	<ellipse cx="500" cy="100"
		rx="150" ry="75"
		stroke="#e89a3e"
		stroke-width="4"
		fill="#cf8630"
		opacity="1.0" />
</svg>

The Attributes

Here are the attributes used to define our ellipses:

• cx & cy: The x and y coordinates of the center of the ellipse.
• rx & ry: The radius of the ellipse.
• stroke: The color of the border line. This value can be defined either by specifying a hexadecimal color code as we did above or by using a valid color name.
• stroke-width: The width of the border line output to the screen, relative to the size of the viewbox.
• fill: The fill color can also be defined as a hexadecimal color code or color name and will fill the ellipse with the color specified. Specifying a value of none will keep the ellipse fill color transparent.
• opacity: Determines if the ellipse will have any transparency. Valid decimal values can be between 0.0 (invisible) and 1.0 (fully visible). A value of 0.5 would give the ellipse 50% transparency.
